It finally snowed.....

I really wished the snow could have stayed away all winter, but I guess I should be happy that it stayed nice outside as long as it did. Toby likes it though.......it's fun to burrow in:

I continue to play with solids and decided the other day just to sew some leftover strips together and see what I could come up with. Once it was done, I had no idea how how I was going to quilt it until I looked at my sewing machine and decided to make it a stitch sampler. I named it, "Stitches". (I never seem to run out of clever names, dontcha know??!! lol)

I have something else in the works and the only thing I can say is that I used a ton of colors:

That was only a few of the many that I used. This wall hanging is taking me an age, so we'll see what happens. If I get a partner who likes color for a new swap that I joined, perhaps they might be blessed with it, who knows? First though, I have to finish it! I go from liking it to not. Sometimes that means I've been looking at it too long! lol So often, I wish I worked faster!!! I don't want to forget so many others in my head that need to come out.

Oh...one more thing. I don't think I showed you a mosaic of all the ladies together. It made a hit with my friends in Flickr:

Cute, huh? Perhaps I will continue with that series when this "solid" marathon is done. Let me know if you'd like to be in the next bunch. Wouldn't that be fun??? Until next time...........

I like your Stitches and seeing all of the LADIES. I can link back to this Post to show my Guild buddies! We got snow here too. That means I get to sew "Remotely". I missed the making of the last two. Still getting lots of comments on mine and Lynn's. So glad you made them for us!

You are welcome to have our snow Carol!! As a Vancouverite I am not used to or fond of the stuff.Love every single thing about the stitches piece and am inspired to try one myself. The buttons are the perfect touch.

oops....it was me Little Penpen, not Babysitter's Love, in the above post. I didn't realize my DIL had left her account up on my computer. I still would love to be included in your ladies series. And your dog is precious against the snow.... Snow White!

Your ladies are amazing. I don't see any grey-haired ladies with short hair and glasses, though. I happen to know one who admires your work big-time! Giggle...I love your "stitches" with the bright, bold colors!

About Me

I'm a crazy lady, married to the same wonderful guy for 40 years, who loves to sew all sorts of stuff (me, not him). Actually, come to think of it, he probably doesn't even
know what a walking foot is. :( Oh well! Anyway, join in the fun and see what I might be making next.
